Comments (0)Has anyone installed Natural Cork's Everglade Oak floating cork floor, from their Cork Canvas line? Or any of their other Cork Canvas designs? Natural Cork - Canvas Plank I'm getting ready to rip up the old wall-to-wall carpet in my 1BR condo and put down a floating cork floor. The new floor will be for the the living room/dining room, bedroom and hallway -- everything except the kitchen and bathroom. There are several aspects of cork that I like, especially its sound-dampening qualities. The hard part has been finding a color and texture/pattern that I like -- not too dark or too light, not a busy pattern, no warm orange or red undertones. After many visits to the few local flooring stores that have good experience with cork, I've settled on Natural Cork's Everglade Oak. It's imprinted with an HD image of a wood grain in a gray-brown color. I didn't set out looking for a cork floor with a wood-grain image, but after considering the way the "real" cork color options look with my walls and furniture I think the Everglade Oak works best. My runner-up choices are Kilmartin Pine, also from the Cork Canvas collection, and Eco-Timber's Fumed Oak which is also a wood-image cork. The Fumed Oak is a good medium brown but I think Natural Cork's products look more authentic. The Kilmartin Pine looks good but is darker than I'd like. Before I pull the trigger, I'd love to hear about others' experiences with this product or even see photos of them installed, if you have any. Thanks!...See MoreAmorim cork flooring for small bathroom
Comments (2)Hi robin, You are welcome to float the WISE cork flooring. The issue with the centre board (traditionally High Density Fibreboard = HDF) is not an issue with WISE. The WISE has a mineral core. This makes it truly water proof. You will need to have a FLAT subfloor. The rigid core makes the click system brittle. And bit of 'wonky' movement in the subfloor could mean the breakage of the edges is possible. I'm a traditionalist. I prefer the glue down product. With a little bit of subfloor prep (same prep as the floating type) you can glue down a cork tile floor quite easily. You would required 2 packages of 4mm or 6mm cork glue down tiles from iCork Floor LLC (roughly 40sf). You can purchase a quart of Roberts water based contact cement adhesive (Low or no-VOC) and a quart of Loba 2K Supra AT (from iCork) to finish the installation....See MoreCork floating floor on large basement on concrete
Comments (2)Local Cork Expert here. I'm going to save you a bunch of money and a HUGE amount of stress. Cork Wise has issues. Big issues. The biggest issue is it curls after it is installed. Remember: Cork Wise is NOT a cork floor. It is a vinyl-cork-vinyl sandwich. It is expensive and it has a 20%-50% chance of heartache (and everyone points fingers at each other with the homeowner crying over their ruined floor). You have a cork flooring store in your area: iCork Floor LLC in Kent WA. They carry traditional cork floating floors (which is your only option in a basement). You will need a vapour barrier. That is NORMAL for all floors in a basement (other than carpet). You will need the concrete levelled to 3mm over 3m (1/8" over 10 ft). Again this is normal for all floors (except carpet). You are in a cool damp environment (I'm in Vancouver BC, Canada = pretty much the identical weather/temperatures) and I would say you can go with a cork floating floor WITHOUT cork underlay. The floating floor will offer enough warmth/heat retention in your situation. The rest of Canada (and cold parts of USA) usually do well with 3mm or 6mm cork underlay for better heat retention and noise reduction. Go ahead and give Anne a phone call. She'll hook you up with samples: iCork Floor LLC. 1209 Central Ave South, Suite 137 Kent, WA 98032 U.S.A. Toll Free: 1-888-551-7678, 1-877-998-1198, www.iCorkFloor.com...See MoreRelated Professionals
